Hi all,

Just signed up after being diagnosed with RA March 2023. Still coming to terms with it and still struggling despite taking methatrexate and hydroxychloroquine. Waiting to see if I can change from oral methatrexate to sub cu(is that what it's called?) And currently being treated for tendinitis in my right wrist.

Hoping to gain more knowledge from this community

Hello @shelllh51 and welcome to site.

Sorry to hear your concerns.

I was diagnosed with Pallindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis Feb 2023 and then Osteoarthritis September.

Thankfully Hydroxychloroquine twice a day helping PRA but like you consultant starting me on Methatrexate injections end of this month ???

Would say fingers crossed but too painful however I did find the following courses helped me a lot.

Best wishes to you @Naomi33

Hope that the methotrexate does you well

I used to be on it but now on biologics

I'm 30 years in my RA journey

And always remember if something doesn't work there is always something else for you
